Dumber than I thought you were. Your stupidity disappoints me.

You're a Notre Dame grad and you don't share the utter anger and disbelief that the entire university is feeling right now? I'm utterly pissed at the committee for their continued coddling of Alabama. This has nothing to do with Miami. It has everything to do with the SEC, especially Alabama who everyone, including the committee, knows that ND would beat them by double digits. It's okay to be pissed Bob.

C'mon. It's a sham because they didn't earn it on the field? Being the fourth most likely to win according to Vegas is a sham? Favored by 5.5 points at Oklahoma is a sham? It's a sham because the SEC and ACC are in bed with ESPN who happen to run the CFP. That, my man, is the sham.

Seriously though. IU will never know if they are #1 in their own state. I think that sucks for IU...........I root for them too.

You're in denial if you don't think there's any truth to that. It's kind of sad really. IU will never know if they're even the best team in their own state.

Lol, Notre Dame getting snubbed isn't arrogance you idiot.

Well sure, now that they were snubbed.

Lol, no one cares about the Pop Tarts Bowl, so can't answer that question. Think about it. It's a twelve team field. But most metrics tell us that this years champion will run through the field minus a team that's ranked anywhere from 2-5. Kinda sucks if you ask me. I mean, in order to call yourself the best, shouldn't you have to play the best? If you think I'm the only person who thinks that Notre Dame had a high chance of winning the title this year, then you're a lot dumber than I thought you were.

I do hope IU wins it this year, but it won't be legitimate without going through Notre Dame.

Boom shake the room. The NCAA doesn't deserve Notre Dame for a bowl game. The Irish are better than an invitation to play BYU at the............Pop Tarts Bowl. I commend Notre Dame for opting out. Why slap the players in the face with a game like that?

Pretty sure Vegas has a better grip on who's going to win a football game than does the "committee" you dip shit.

And ultimately made it to the championship game dufus. It's widely accepted that Notre Dame is even better this year. Notre Dame not making it in is what's laughable. They were already a 5.5 point favorite against Oklahoma on the road. Again, Vegas gave Notre Dame the fourth best odds of winning the championship...........AND THEY DIDN'T MAKE IT IN. Lol, good grief. It's good comedy seeing the "haters," you being the most obvious one, trying to justify why the committee was right. Your stock is tanking.

How do I really feel? I'll keep it to myself so I don't get banned for a lifetime instead of a few weeks which is probably likely. I'm on here too much, so any kind of a ban would be a blessing. I'm hoping for two months at least. Notre Dame haters, yourself and football dork, can relish in the delight of Notre Dame getting screwed, so congratulations to you two. As for IU, really do wish them luck. I'm happy for their fans.

That you can potentially call yourselves champions without having to go through Notre Dame dumb ass.

Sigh of relief. Admit it.

Fuck the NCAA, major shit show and a total embarrassment. At least IU fans won't have to worry about bowing out to Notre Dame for a second year in a row. This year's champion will be illegitimate. The SEC got their way. Five teams in. Bama is a joke and would lose to Notre Dame by double digits.

I have no issues with that. Notre Dame wants to keep their independence in football and I'm in no position to question them. Again, they love their independent brand. Always have. Anyone who thinks it's because they are dodging a late season game is just showing their ignorance. I love the Big Ten Your proposal wouldn't hurt my feelings at all. Blinders? What are you even talking about? Is Notre Dame worthy of the playoff or not? Our viewers want to know. You can just keep it a simple yes or no if you'd like, actually what I'd prefer. Also gave up 28 more. Not a good look for their defense.

You're reaching and I'm not sure why. You know Notre Dame is good. I think you're just in the mood for a Sunday morning debate.

Wasted five bowl eligible teams. Eye test, not my rule. Of course, who doesn't? All kidding aside, how many times are you going to ask me to explain my position on Sagarin? Not doing it again. Ask @Rodney, at least he pays attention.

Transitive property seems to be important. Not my rules. Not my fault all the computer ratings have Notre Dame as a Top 5 team. Objective people love Notre Dame, as the committee said, eye test is important. Tell me, if it came down to Notre Dame and Alabama, who are you taking?

They got curb stomped. Who wants to see this again? No one. But who's left? James Madison who lost to Louisville by two touchdowns? BYU who also got curb stomped? Give em another chance I guess.

Not relevant in the slightest. Are they or are they not one of the best twelve teams in the country? How did they look their previous ten games? 100%

Again, doesn't matter. The consensus around the country, minus most SEC fans, is that Notre Dame is one of the best teams in the country and has a legitimate shot at this thing. Can't leave a team like that out.

Agree. They look much better by sitting out. I really don't want James Madison in this thing. Give me Miami, Alabama, and Tulane at 10-12.

So, if the eye test shows they are not Top 12, then why bother? They've had an entire season to show the country who they are. They kind of blew it. So................who's #12 then if it's not Alabama? A James Madison team that lost to Louisville by two touchdowns?
